Misfit Wearables launches next-generation Shine activity tracker

By Michael Johnsen

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Misfit Wearables is teeing up a revolutionary activity tracking device — the Misfit Shine — that's constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, is waterproof and is able to wirelessly sync activity data to a smartphone without the need for a Bluetooth connection.

Retailing for a suggested $99, the new product launch has already caught the attention of gizmo wonks like Peter Ha at Gizmodo, who profiled the quarter-sized product in a Nov. 14 writeup. "You might not have ever heard of Misfit Wearables but you'll want to pay attention starting now that its first gadget has made its debut," Ha wrote.
